I mean, if you have the money and the time, you can try on every ready to wear thing in the world, and find the things that fit. But when you sew for yourself, you have one garment and it's got to work perfectly.<br /><br />I really hope I get to start my buttonholes tomorrow. But maybe I'm dreaming :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-84815359955714358252012-04-05T22:02:35.620-04:002012-04-05T22:02:35.620-04:00Thank you for the vote of confidence!Thank you for the vote of confidence!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-16961247137006461352012-04-05T22:01:56.457-04:002012-04-05T22:01:56.457-04:00Carolyn: I have to check that out. thank you!Carolyn: I have to check that out. thank you!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-25056948132560844962012-04-02T14:04:41.284-04:002012-04-02T14:04:41.284-04:00You have much more perseverance than I in these ma...You have much more perseverance than I in these matters. I made a muslin and had to do a SBA. I think the rest is OK, but I find that my ability to see areas that need fitting on myself is limited. I really feel I need a partner to do the fitting analysis. I admire everyone that can look at themselves and see the subtle issues. I can see giant things, but am not able to see the subtle. I cut out my fashion fabric this weekend and completed my buttonholes. I am going with the fusable method so I also did a ton of fusing.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-18633574102424929992012-04-02T09:06:41.451-04:002012-04-02T09:06:41.451-04:00I'm with Carolyn - I'm sure this will be w...I'm with Carolyn - I'm sure this will be worth it!

Thank goodness, though!<br /><br />Every time I tailor (says she, like it happens weekly), I am reminded of the reasons tailored clothing should cost a fortune.
